Madagascar split from Africa 160 million years ago and evolved alone — nine out of ten species here exist nowhere else on Earth. Lemurs leap through the rainforest at Andasibe, baobabs line a dirt road at Morondava like cathedral columns at sunset, and the limestone blades of the Tsingy cut a stone forest you cross on suspension bridges. Roads are slow and the country is huge; that is part of the deal.
3-Day Madagascar » Antananarivo & Andasibe Lemurs is a 3-day private tour of Madagascar, run on your own dates with a private guide and driver. You stay in the best available lodges beside the parks, on half board, travelling by private 4×4 with a driver who knows the road conditions.
Prices are per person and drop as your group grows — from $1080 per person for two travellers down to $700 for a group of seven. Every departure is private: you never share the vehicle or the guide.
3-day Madagascar itinerary
Met at Antananarivo — 'Tana' to everyone who lives there — and driven east into the rainforest at Andasibe. Madagascar broke away from Africa 160 million years ago and has been evolving on its own ever since: about 90% of everything alive here exists nowhere else on Earth. Nothing you see in the next few days has a close relative anywhere.
Overnight: 3-star hotel / lodge.
Andasibe is where you meet the indri — the largest lemur alive, black-and-white, tailless, and the only one that sings. Family groups call to each other across the canopy at dawn in a wail that carries two kilometres and sounds like nothing else in the animal kingdom; it is the single most memorable sound in Madagascar. There are eleven other lemur species here, plus chameleons and the improbable giraffe-necked weevil. The night walk is when the mouse lemurs come out.
Overnight: 3-star hotel / lodge.
A transfer to Antananarivo airport for your flight. End of our services.
